历史

我们位于列治文市中心已有70多年，是一个信奉圣经的教会，致力于忠实地传讲、教导、见证并分享上帝关于借着耶稣基督得救的福音。以下是我们的历史：

1953年：列治文首个路德会教会

弗雷德·加伯特牧师（Rev. Fred Gabert）与路德会伯利恒堂（温哥华）的八名成员在列治文组建了一个由丹尼尔·约翰逊传道（Vicar Daniel Johnson）领导的传道会。该教会最初名为布里豪斯路德会，于8月16日在布里豪斯赛马场俱乐部会所举行了首次礼拜，共有39人参加。

2月19日，《布莱豪斯三一路德会教会章程》获得通过。8月15日，克拉伦斯·C·艾弗特牧师（Rev. Clarence C. Eifert）就任三一堂首任牧师。不久后，会众投票决定以3,900加元的价格购置格兰维尔大道712号的房产。
